Intracranial venous thrombosis is an uncommon event with high morbidity and mortality. This article aims to present a case of intracranial venous thrombosis associated with mutation of factor V Leiden and mutation in the prothrombin gene after contraceptive use that culminated in ischemic optic neuropathy and permanent total bilateral amaurosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for patient survival and relevant genetic screening for clinical counseling and, thus, to avoid new thrombotic episodes of great clinical repercussion in female individuals.
